What ever day in Sept is fine with me ... I won't be driving the beetle, but will be brining the video camera again.

That ride in your car Chris has got me thinking about suspension setup with my beetle. I'm ordering the rear coilovers soon but I think I will up the spring poundage and perhaps get a double adjustable shock.

I need to find a way to get the adjustability back in my rear swaybar as my 915 mount is in the way now :o

There is that one long sweeper where I think my rear tires will be rubbing quite a bit on the fenders :eekno:

I know :o
Work has been commanding (commandeering? lol) most of my time these days. When it's "shut down" time in the auto industry, jobbing shops like ours works almost around the clock on rush jobs. I feel ****ty for backing out, but it was beyond my control.

I'll make it out though! I think I've made it out to more stuff this year then you though Sandeep:p (btw hows that motor coming along?)

Well Michael, last year I drove he car three times which was great because it gave me a change to work out the bugs during the winter. I did have some issues and one serious one. First issue, I have a Sharp Built Shroud and on the install I had to cut off the original oil filler hole which intern becomes a holder for the fan and alternator holder. Well I only tacked the aluminium plate and the torque from the pulley broke the tack but I caught it in time and it was repaired ( no damage ). Second issue ! Brakes. I replaced the brakes after years of mental abuse from the one and only Lanner. The brakes are done the stopping power is amazing and it's really cool. Third problem! After completing the brakes I purchased rims. I am trying to keep the original fenders for the front and rear but I got 7's in the front and 9's in the rear. I do have short axles and it's a swingaxle car. Again Lanner told me that it would not work but the stubborn person that I am had to learn the hard way. I was more determined to make it work because the rims where polished and so I was trying to work with them( budget, budget):eek: . I then had to purchase 7 X 17" for the rear as well so I no have to sell my 7 X 9's and there are two pairs and one is polished and the other regular with brand new tires. The last fix was the tranny. Around 4 years ago I purcased my Tranny and it was a steal, couldn't refuse it although I know that I had to rework the gears. Over the winter I also changed the two last gears so I can hit the track but also go on a cruise. All this was done and let me tell ya, being a lone ranger is rooough, I applaud all de boys out there who works alone.

July 25th 2008 today, I drove to work and maaaaaaaaaan
I ya could see the smile on my face. WA WOWwwwww...
Well ohhhh yes I discovered some more bugs but these are easy fixes. It's strictly amazing the car pulls in every gear and ohhh boy it flies, I need more.

Ready To Go Again, Anytime.

BiG Daddy / VW EGO

Sandeep

August 27th 2008 08:46

Chris,

I am in .. I will not be driving though but will bring the Volvo and my spare T4 block with clutch / PP / FW. I will get to your place early and help figure out why that T1 setup is not fitting the 901.

I'll be bringing the video camera for some youtube footage ! I have a small portable BBQ as well.

1.29 + - is the lap time to beat. :D
